Rounding them all up is impractical (and not all of them are from Mexico). Enforcing existing laws and getting tougher on employers utilizing illegal labor will result in self-deportation, which is what we must do.

Politico hours ago released a Bulletin Kill from the wire service withdrawing an article published earlier in the day with the inflammatory headline "Sen. Paul: Voters Want to Round Up Immigrants" (and send them back to Mexico)

“Well, that goes for about, what, 99% of the parasites in that ignoble profession.”

That is pretty much right.
If not for the talkers on the radio, such as Rush, we would have no media at all.
Even FOX is drifting more and more to the left.
I am watching it less and less from here in the Philippines.

“Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country.. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.”

Larry the Cable Guy

More from Larry:

“Everyone concentrates on the problems we’re having in Our Country lately: Illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida . .. .. .
Not me — I concentrate on solutions for the problems 
it’s a win-win situation.

* Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.

* Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levees.

* Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.

Any other problems you would like for me to solve today? “

THE CONSTITUTION
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq ....why don’t we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we’re not using it anymore.

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this — you cannot post ‘Thou Shalt Not Steal’ ‘Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery’ and ‘Thou Shall Not Lie’ in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians,

The folks at the Associated Press have a lot of egg on their faces Sunday.

Perhaps the AP should be sued for $2 billion. Something has to be done to put a stop to character assassination attempts by the media using clearly false information. IMO, we have too many examples of the liberal media getting caught, but getting off with zero punishment or admonishment.

The entire MSM knows the single most important rule of propaganda........”Once seen, it cannot be unseen” and “once heard it cannot be unheard.”

Try it out....it really works. Don’t believe so? Well, just tell your little children really bad stories of how the bogy man is going to eat them in their sleep tonight and just before putting them in bed for the night and turning off the light, tell them it was just a joke.

See how that works.

It’s the single most important principle of propaganda...period!

That, IMHO, is exactly the right tack which should and must be taken. The AP is the nexus of the entire problem of bias in the media. When the AP came into being in the middle of the Nineteenth Century, print journalism was the media. Except that print journalism was notorious for not agreeing about much of anything - entirely the opposite of the situation we have faced all our lives. IMHO it is the AP which is responsible for that change. After all, what is the AP newswire if not a 24/7 virtual meeting of all the major journalism outlets??? And what did Adam Smith say about that sort of thing?

"People of the same trade seldom meet together even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public or some contrivance to raise prices."

The conspiracy against the public which is the AP has produced a homogeneous journalism which may, incidentally, contain controversy on editorial pages but which promotes as objective news which promotes journalism as such and, for that reason, promotes politicians which cooperate in promoting journalism. Journalism promotes politicians by giving them positive labels such as liberal, "progressive, or moderate. The liberal politician and the objective journalist cooperate in slandering the people by casting aspersions on anyone whom the people need to trust, no matter how honorable and diligent they may be.

The AP was found in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act back in 1945, but nothing much came of it because the AP was too big to fail. Its mission, the conservation of scarce and expensive bandwidth in the transmission of news, was seen as too important. At this late date bandwidth is dirt cheap, so the mission of the AP is obsolete. It should be sued into oblivion.

The AP is the source of the objective journalism con. It is honorable to try to be objective, and it is even honorable to claim to be trying to be objective - but to claim actually to be objective, or to belong to an organization which you know will claim it for you, is blatant sophistry meriting only contempt.
